  • Plovdiv Old Town, Plovdiv, Bulgaria
    The tour starts with pick up from your hotel/accommodation in Sofia. After approximately an hour and a half drive, we will reach Plovdiv. Plovdiv is said to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in Europe. The city has cultural and economic significance both in the past and in the present due to its strategic location. Pieces of evidence of its millennial history can be found all over the place – from the Roman Theatre to the Ottoman mosques. This is the reason why Plovdiv is one of the most charming sights in Bulgaria- wherever you look you will find history, a legend from a different period, traces of glorious past and at the same time, it’s a pleasure to see how vivid is it still and how it continues to develop and writes its new history. There we will visit the highlights – the Roman Theatre, the Roman Stadium, and have a walk in the Old Town with typical for the Revival Period house museums and narrow cobblestone streets. Afterward, we will have lunch.
    180 minutes
  • Assenova krepost (Asen's Fortress), Asenovgrad, Bulgaria
    When we are done with our traditional Bulgarian lunch, we will head towards the final destination of the tour – Asenova Fortress (approx. 25 min drive from Plovdiv). Asen's Fortress is situated on the top of a cliff in Rodopi Mountain, at approx. 20 km distance from Plovdiv. It is a Medieval fortress with a rich history and breathtaking view.
    30 minutes
  • Bachkovo Monastery, Bachkovo, Bulgaria
    After feasting our eyes on the beauties of nature, we will drive to the Bachkovo monastery. This is the second biggest monastery in Bulgaria and one of the oldest. It was established in the late XI century by a man for Georgia. The monastery later became part of the Bulgarian church. It suffered a lot from the turbulence of the time and keeps a lot of history and drama.

Mooie ervaring, veel gezien. Inplaats van een groep was het een privé tour. Super leuke reisleidster, ze wist echt heel veel. Zeker aan te raden om te doen.

My original date for this trip had to be changed to a day later and it worked out for me becasue I wound up getting a personal tour as I was the only person with the tour guide. She was great with her history and knoweldge of the areas and found a great plave for us to eat mid way through the day. The trip there was amazing and all 3 sights were impressive in their own ways. I HIGHLY reccommend this trip to anyone that is in Sofia and wanting to see some great sights and learn more history about Bulgaria and one of it's biggest cities.
